Amy Sedaris: Betty Crocker with a smirk?

To bake them:
Scrub sweet potato or yams. Lightly grease their skin. Put them in an oven at 400 degrees F. Bake for about 45 minutes.

To mash them:
Boil sweet potatoes. Drain and mash. Add butter, salt, pepper and a little nutmeg.

Mix dry ingredients (except sugar) in a bowl.

In mixer add margarine, molasses, sugar and mix well. Add eggs and incorporate well. Add dry ingredients and mix.

Refrigerate dough for several hours, overnight is best.

Roll into balls about one inch in size. Place 13 at a time on a cookie sheet and press out with a flat-bottomed glass (rocks or highball) rubbed with margarine and dipped in sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 to 9 minutes.
